Stop! Stop! Stop! If you see it on the news (moving pics that is) you will see that they are picking up the bits of kit and displaying them to the cameras, yes they are smiling, but they always do that. They are not jumping around and celebrating the deaths (from what i saw) of the soldiers.

You have to remember these are different people who have different ways. They jump around and gob off alot when they are 'celebrating' deaths.

Take it you've not been to the sand pit?

You may not believe in God or a God, but trust me, when you’re really in the shit you will pray to everyone.

I wasn't trying to de-value anyones role in theatre. I for one spent most of me time in SLB.

Anyone who has been over there will have been on OPTAG to start with and will be briefed on the typical Iraqi, and then when they arrive in theatre will see things as soldiers that civilians back home won't.

Its always an easy assumption to make that anyone who is not on our side is the enemy. This certainly is not the case, remember the troubles in NI, and how all the Irish were perceived as terrorists by the uneducated when in actually fact the 'enemy' consisted of a maximum 2% of the population and that was IRT and PPM.

Yes Dingerr, I have been to the sandpit..did the initial OP Telic from Kuwait to Iraq, and also an Op tour there. Im now a civie. Just proves to me that these people have no loyalty to eachother, or anyone else. And I realizes that in the 11 odd months Ive spent in Iraq.

Saw a similar photo in the Daily Mail. They are no worse thatn feral animals. Sometimes it makes wonder if the Americans haven't sometimes been correct in thier approach when they shoot first ask quesions later.

Remember those who have given their lives so that we can enjoy ours. Remember those that they have left behind as well, those who we forget about. And be thankful that we can sleep peacefully at night whilst men and women we may never know stand ready to give their lives without question for us and our loved ones knowing they may never see their loved ones again.

So in other words, unless your Infantry, you job over there is meaningless and a waste of time, is that what your saying Easy?? If so, can you let all the other arms and trades know that in future, your going to collect and deliver your own ammo, mail, rations, cook for yourself, administer your own first aid and treatment of anything thats more serious etc,etc.........or alternatively, you could think before posting galactically stupid comments....OUT.

What have we got for entertainment? Cops kicking gypsies on the pavement.
